No Debutante - Hot in the city

Today is a
school run day and my eldest son, Lucian, had a fashion faux pas this morning, he
was all dressed up in his basketball kit for sports week but to his horror, no
other kids were, poor chap! He took it on the chin though and his Dad did run
some spare school uniform in for him, just in case he wanted it. Lucian’s
friend Max had also done the same thing but they were the only ones! It can be
devastating for a kid to not be the same as everyone else, even though I seem
to go out of my way to not ‘fit in’, I remember it well. On this occasion I
blame the school for not giving out definite info on how they should dress.

Today’s look is pretty tough, I’m still getting influences
from skinhead style wearing Dr Martens with white sports socks, rolled up leopard
print leggings and my denim waistcoat, It was actually raining when we took the
photos so I am still wearing a coat everywhere I go! It’s no wonder I don’t
know how to dress when I am in a hot country, I’m simply not used to not having
to wear loads of layers!! I will try and put some research into what to wear
this year as most of my outfits are not really for the beach and I stand
out,but not in a good way – who’s
conforming now??! I guess I have to be honest with myself, my look is very much edgy, street style, I belong in the city,
bohemian, I am not. I look wierd in the countryside for god sakes let alone
fitting in on a beach!!Please come soon Ibiza holiday, I need the
beach.......and some holiday fashion inspiration fast!

I'm a Fashion Obsessive, I started my blog after friends suggested I should document my outfits. No Debutante was born in 2011 as was my third child so the blog started as a pregnancy fashion blog. Since then I have flown the flag for street style and the more outrageous fashion designers. I embraced Bristol fashion, where I have met so many amazing creatives and landed myself the job of fashion editor at Bristol 24/7 it's been a hard slog but so worth it!

I have three kids, I am married to Phil who has equally as many hobbies as I do! I’m a DJ at my own club night Bang, I am vocalist with the band Mono Dots, I also work at the very cool, Desklodge Bristol, I am a street style devotee, vinyl loving, ex fashion designer (if only I had the time!). In my world clashing colours and prints are always welcome. Check out my blog http://no-debutante.blogspot.co.uk/ …….Hello…I am Emma
